Chapter 249 Problems Encountered in Creating Battle Armor
"Are these two metal wires... used to guide the lightning element generated by the core magic array?"
To be honest, when Xuan Ziwen first saw the internal structure, his first impression was that it was simple: a core lightning-attribute magic array and two metal wires used to guide the lightning element.
The only slightly more complicated part is the other end of the wire, a strange cylinder that connects to the external circular blade.
Upon disassembling the cylinder, Xuan Ziwen couldn't help but frown.
Strange, since there was no recording, how did this thing convert lightning element into rotational force?
The only thing related to rotation is the magnet on the outside of the cylinder, but the position of this magnet is clearly fixed, and its shape is an arc-shaped plate that is not conducive to rotation.
Unable to figure it out, Xuan Ziwen gave up exploring the principles and instead quickly made an identical part using the same materials. After connecting the disassembled core array with wires, he injected soul power into it.
Something incomprehensible happened: the replica cylinder began to vibrate with a buzzing sound. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a coil made of metal wires was spinning rapidly.
"How strange. Even though no material was recorded, why can a few metal wires and a magnet be placed like this and still make it spin? And why does it have to be powered on? There must be some reason I don't understand."
Upon seeing this incomprehensible phenomenon, Xuan Ziwen's first feeling was excitement.
"Teacher Xuan, the principle is actually very simple. The key theory is that electricity generates magnetism."
Electromagnetism?
Xuan Ziwen nodded thoughtfully, then took out two more metal wires and a compass for navigation, and connected them to the lightning-attribute core magic array.
The moment the core magic array was activated, the pointer on the compass began to tremble slightly.
"You can even do that?"
Xuan Ziwen felt as if a door to a new world was opening for him. The lightning element, which he had never paid attention to before, had properties that he was unaware of.
"If there's nothing else, go back and rest. Tomorrow at dawn, go to XX town near Jingyang Mountain Range and call your senior brothers back."
Once Xuan Ziwen was in research mode, he didn't hesitate to ask people to leave.
"Then the student will take his leave."
After saying goodbye to Xuan Ziwen, Huo Yuhao returned to his dormitory alone.
"Keke and the others are still outside. We need to go and call them back tomorrow..."
After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao took out the Human Emperor (not really) Myriad Soul Banner that he had obtained from the evil soul master and began to study it carefully.
This research was significant; upon closer inspection, Huo Yuhao discovered the peculiarity of the Myriad Soul Banner.
"They can actually convert soul power directly into soul energy to nourish the vengeful spirits within? Are these evil soul masters really that advanced?"
Thinking of Ye Xishui's Death God Soul Guidance Device activated by consuming vengeful spirits in the original work, Huo Yuhao had to admit that in terms of manipulating souls, these evil soul masters were far superior to the righteous soul masters.
In any case, Huo Yuhao has been studying soul tools for so long, but he has seen very few mental attribute core arrays.
"Speaking of which, there seems to be a Title Douluo among the evil soul masters whose martial soul is the Myriad Soul Banner. Maybe this soul tool version of the Myriad Soul Banner is a replica based on that martial soul."
Muttering to himself, Huo Yuhao disassembled the core magic array, trying to analyze the function of each inscription.
After an unknown amount of time, when Huo Yuhao put down the shattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand, a faint glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.
"It's already dawn?"
Yelling, Huo Yuhao looked at his research results from the previous night with satisfaction.
Originally, the spiritual imprint generated by Huo Yuhao's fourth soul skill was unable to absorb the surrounding soul power.
Even the replenishment of mental energy was very slow, and Huo Yuhao basically had to manually replenish it after it was depleted.
There's nothing we can do about it; the recovery of mental strength comes from both the physical body and the activities of the soul.
Without a physical body and a complete spiritual imprint, a being is destined to be unable to replenish its energy on its own unless it resides within a target's body.
Even if it is a spiritual imprint residing in the target's spiritual sea, one must be extremely careful when absorbing the scattered spiritual energy in order to avoid being discovered by the target.
In most cases, they can barely break even. Maintaining the mark itself takes up most of the absorbed spiritual energy, and it may take several hours to accumulate enough spiritual energy to unleash a soul skill.
After a night of research, Huo Yuhao updated the container that was originally used to seal the spiritual imprint and reduce the loss of spiritual power within it. Now, as long as pure soul power is input through the milk bottle, a large amount of spiritual power can be replenished to the spiritual imprint.
At this moment, the spiritual imprint has become a clone capable of remaining away from Huo Yuhao for an extended period and still exerting some of its combat power.
Well, it might be missing a fully enclosed baby bottle to be complete, but that depends on Xuan Ziwen's progress. Anyway, Huo Yuhao himself has tried several times but failed.
After completing the check-in for the Purple Demon Eye, Huo Yuhao had to set off to inform Keke and the others to come back, for which he was scolded by them.
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to apologize obediently, since he was the one who had to leave alone first, and had prevented them from going home to rest during their holiday.
Thus, the first vacation came to a complete end, and Huo Yuhao returned to academy life.
"What should I research...?"
For Huo Yuhao now, most soul tools are of little use, and his actual combat power does not depend on soul tools.
Therefore, the thing that can enhance Huo Yuhao's combat power is...
Battle Armor!
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but rub his temples hard.
Although I had long had the idea of creating battle armor, battle armor is not like forging techniques. In this world, it has not even been born yet. If I really devote myself to the research and development of battle armor, it is very likely that I will not have any success for several years.
Moreover, as a user of twin martial souls, Huo Yuhao's battle armor needs to be designed to be compatible with both martial souls, a problem that was considered difficult even in the era of the Dragon King Legend ten thousand years later.
However, considering my current situation, although I don't have the opportunity to create a complete battle armor, I might as well move towards the direction of battle armor first.
For example, like the early Tang 50, some parts were manufactured first.
Given Huo Yuhao's current situation, the most suitable accessory is a helmet.
First of all, the only metal that Huo Yuhao could find with suitable properties was the spirit attribute ore he had previously obtained in Silver Wolf Canyon. Moreover, there was enough of it for Huo Yuhao to conduct repeated tests, so there was no need to worry about a shortage of materials.
Secondly, if he only makes the helmet, Huo Yuhao only needs to consider amplifying his mental power, without having to consider the compatibility with the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.
Moreover, the Spirit Eye is Huo Yuhao's main martial soul and the main source of his combat power. Even if he cannot adapt his battle armor to the Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul for a long time, the impact on his combat power will be limited.
After setting his goal, Huo Yuhao slowly pondered the problems he would face next.
First, the issue of materials. The most basic material for making a one-word battle armor is thousand-refined metal, or like Tang 50, you can use spirit metal, which is the basic material for two-word battle armor, to make a one-word battle armor.
Second, regarding the design issues, the design of the battle armor was not explained in detail in Douluo Continent III. Huo Yuhao was unclear whether it was the external design or the internal core magic array pattern design.
Third, regarding the inscription of the core formation, Huo Yuhao was unsure whether he could complete the inscription of the core formation ten thousand years from now with his current soul guidance technology. Perhaps he would need a more advanced inscription technology that did not yet exist.
IV. Uh, that's all.
Regarding the first question, the material issue, Huo Yuhao needs to choose between ordinary forged metal and spirit alloy.
Ordinary thousand-refined metal is a material that Huo Yuhao can obtain in a short time, but its drawbacks are also obvious. If he wants to upgrade to a two-word battle armor, a one-word battle armor is useless, and he has to start all over again.
The most crucial issue is that it cannot be integrated into the body, so it must be stored away using a storage soul tool and summoned only when needed, which is far from perfect.
The "spirit alloy" does not refer to the spirit forging that Huo Yuhao has been unable to break through, but rather to an alloy with a certain degree of fusion. It is also the only way to solve the compatibility problem of twin martial souls.
In that case, let's move towards the direction of spirit alloys from the very beginning.
By fusing other materials, preferably ice-attribute materials, with silver moonstone as the base, you can create a spirit metal that suits your needs.
By the way, Silver Moonstone is the name Huo Yuhao just gave to the rare metal in his new hairstyle. It was named that way because the Silver Wolf Clan needs to consume this metal to advance to the Silver Moon Wolf King.
The second problem is the design of the battle armor. Huo Yuhao is not good at designing the appearance, so he plans to refer to the armor from his previous life as a basis. At least the armor from his previous life has been tested by history. He can just refer to the models in his memory and copy the appropriate ones.
As for the design of the internal core magic array, Huo Yuhao could only design it based on what was available since there were no references.
First, the most basic Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor needs to be fused into the body. In this regard, I need to consult with Ilex to learn the corresponding law patterns, and perhaps I can also learn from the fusion method of Soul Bones.
Hmm, I hope this won't take up my soul bone slot.
Forget it, whatever. Anyway, the soul bone will eventually turn into divine armor, and the battle armor should be about the same.
Besides, there isn't a suitable skull to choose from yet. We can't just use the one from an Emperor Beast, can we? Since that's the case, it's fine if the head soul bone slot is wasted. We still need to use it for experiments.
In addition, there is the ability to add a mental soul guide shield and a soul power decomposition core array that was only unlocked the day before yesterday. This allows the helmet to provide defense while replenishing mental power. After all, mental power is of paramount importance to Huo Yuhao. Without soul power, Huo Yuhao still has mental power, but without mental power, he really can't even use soul skills.
Next, I need to deal with the amplification core array. I have no background in this area, and it would be too troublesome to research it myself. I need to ask Electrolux if there are any secret techniques I can refer to. If it cannot be achieved in a short time, I will not force it. A half-finished battle armor will also be fine.
The third question is, if you have the skill, you can inscribe it yourself; if you don't, you can call someone else. Look, there's an eighth-level Soul Master, Xuan Ziwen, doing the work for me.
The fourth question?
Oh, that's all.
"Let's take the first step: try fusion forging using Silver Moonstone as a base. Hmm, we also need to complete the Thousand Forging at the same time."
"Let's try it with silver moonstone and mithril first."
After making up his mind, Huo Yuhao picked up a forging hammer and started hammering away.
eighty!
Experimenting with forging formulas is destined to be a long process, and if you're unlucky, it may take several years to get a result.
Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao was one of those people who were favored by luck.
"Hahaha, success! The first step in crafting the battle armor: a thousand-refined spirit alloy!"
Playing with the still-warm, gleaming white metal in his hand, Huo Yuhao's face was filled with excitement.
It is sturdy, resilient, can be fully infused with spiritual energy, does not reject ice elements, and can even maintain its structural integrity under the influence of extreme ice.
Isn't this the perfect forged metal for making helmets?
"Hopefully, the integration level will meet the standard."
Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.
Huo Yuhao had no way to test the degree of fusion. After all, he didn't even know the standard for a satisfactory degree of fusion, so how could he test it? He could only determine that the degree of fusion was insufficient if the battle armor failed to integrate into his body after a problem occurred during its production.
After placing the latest metal into his storage soul tool, Huo Yuhao lazily stretched his body and slowly walked out of the forging workshop.
"If I remember correctly, Ye Guyi is coming back soon, right? The Holy Angel Soul King, I'm not sure I can beat her with just my Spirit Eye."
After connecting with Ye Guyi through a spiritual imprint, the two arranged to meet at the Jiubao Restaurant.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Ye Guyi sneaked out of the academy and arrived at Jiubao Restaurant, where she was already waiting.
"Sorry I'm late."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Holy Sword?"
How did you know?
Ye Guyi looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise.
"That's just a guess, but the signature Holy Sword Soul Skill of Angel Martial Souls is usually found in the fourth, fifth, or sixth Soul Rings, and most of them are in the fourth or fifth Soul Rings."
"After all, the Holy Sword mainly focuses on increasing attack power, and it is also a very suitable ability for the Angel Martial Soul's attack style. It should not be used too early or too late. If it is used too early, the attack power will not be increased enough. If it is used too late, it will affect the Angel Martial Soul's combat power in the early stage and turn it into a Glass Soul Guided Cannon in the later stage, which is not good at defense."
Would Huo Yuhao say that he got his knowledge through cheating? Of course not. What a great opportunity to show off his knowledge, how could he waste it?
Ye Guyi exclaimed in surprise, "You know quite a lot!"
"Of course." Huo Yuhao puffed out his chest, quite pleased with himself. "For the next period of time, I will provide you with a simulated cultivation environment. You only need to focus on cultivation. If you need anything related to food, clothing, or other necessities, just contact me through your mental imprint."
"By the way, give me back the mental imprint I gave you before, I'll update it."
"it is good."
Ye Guyi reached out and gently slid her left index finger, taking out a wooden board and tossing it to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao then took out the spiritual imprint, placed it on the newest carrier, and tossed it to Ye Guyi.
"By the way, I'm going to open a spatial portal next. It's a small space entrance that I obtained by chance. It's rich in light energy, so it should be quite suitable for you. However, there's one thing you need to be careful about."
After saying that, Huo Yuhao softly chanted and summoned the Gate of the Dead in front of Ye Guyi.
The moment the Gate of the Dead appeared, sensing the intense aura of the dead, Ye Guyi subconsciously summoned her Holy Angel Martial Soul, unleashing a beam of holy light that struck Huo Yuhao.
